the dating pool in calgary is shrinking...

k, so about ... hrm... 8 years ago, i believe, i volunteered at my first Rez party doing security and door entries. for those who don't know, Rez parties were raves thrown by Lucie and the Sublink crew. she's one of those responsible for keeping a dying scene alive back in the day, and her parties were loud and full of ridiculousness. prior to this event, i had a few people come up to me and say "oh hey Megan." or just smile and nod as if they knew me. um, not Megan, dudes. perplexing!

imagine my surprise when i walk into this Rez party and bump headfirst into my doppleganger. y'know how sometimes people say, "oh hey, you look like [so and so]." and then you meet that so and so and are completely confused. why on earth do you think that person looks like me?

well, with Megan it's no joke. save for the fact that she's ... (i don't wanna sell you short here, kiddo) a good 6 inches shorter than me. she posted a couple of pictures once and it was incredibly confusing - "what the... i don't remember that photo being taken?!" oh wait. it's not me.

and aside from looking like me (or me like her, depending on which one of us you ask), she's actually pretty darn cool. we're hardly the same person, but we are into a few of the same things. comics, electronica, nerdy pasttimes, y'know, the usual. and we've become friends over the years, which is pretty neat actually.

and, y'know, as friends do - we talk about boys. we discover along the way that we have dated 4 of the same boys at various different times with varying levels of seriousness. 4. this is a rather large number, particularly given that we don't hang out very often and the timing has been random at best.

it's become very apparent that we are into the same "types" of dudes, and those dudes are into the same "types" of chicks. go f'n figure.

i had a point to all this, but i got lost in telling the story so i'm going to end it without a point.


EDIT - 5! 5 of the same boys. O_o
